Highlights from this day
- split_dose_sam — i came off for four months, put 60 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers 01:29
- gip_glp_gil — coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month 02:17
- rotate_the_site — whats a realistic amount of regain to accept rather than panic about the maintenance conversation barely existed in here two years ago and now it is half the channel 02:59
- karl_fischer — quick one if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time 08:10
i tried to come down and could not hold it, went back to treatment dose, and stopped apologising for it

weekly not daily
how much regain did people get in the first 23 months after stopping
appetite came back over about three weeks after i reduced, not all at once, which is what i had braced for, thats just me
how long did people stay at treatment dose after hitting goal
thats fluctuation
i came off for four months, put 60 back on, and came back. no drama in it, just numbers

resistance training two or three times a week is what the room converged on and it is not glamorous

Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 99% vs 97.4%. Within expected range.

still at maintenance

everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here
i put 34 back on after stopping and then went back on it. it worked the same the second time round
stopped 18 months ago and put 21 back on, what did people do at that point
thats SURMOUNT-OSA

is there any trial data at all on a lower frequency schedule
coming down too fast was my mistake. top rung to the bottom rung inside a month and it was a bad month

regain is expected

does anyone budget for maintenance being cheaper or is it the same £38 a month
i set a trigger weight instead of a target. if i cross it i go up a rung. that is my entire plan
is a maintenance dose a real clinical thing or something we invented between us
if you find maintenance harder than the losing part you are in the majority in this room
did anyone regret dropping the dose too fast
no data on that
am i the only one finding maintenance harder than losing was
set a trigger weight
for the archive how do people handle a two week holiday at a maintenance dose

the food noise came back at the lower dose, does it settle again
come down slower than that
quick one coming back after 26 months of maintenance, is anyone interested in the numbers
i think about it the way i think about my blood pressure tablet, and that framing helped me more than anything else
there is no official maintenance dose. it is a thing we do because the alternative on the table was stopping
how much protein were people eating at maintenance compared to while losing
STEP 4 is the one where they stopped and it came back isnt it, has anyone read the actual numbers
did your maintenance dose end up higher or lower than you expected it to
😂14
regain after stopping is the expected outcome, which is a horrible sentence and also what the data says, n of 1 obviously
🙏2
anyone gone off entirely and stayed off successfully
[edited]no official dose
i dropped from 2.5 to 1 for maintenance and held steady for fourteen months
same as a bp tablet
mine didnt hold
follow up the muscle question is the one i wish i had taken seriously at month two instead of month twelve
everybody i have seen stop and hold it did something else as well, without exception in my time here
mine held
[edited]harder than losing
how do you decide youre actually at maintenance rather than just stalled
slightly off topic but cost did not drop at maintenance for me because i went to a lower dose from the same vial and just used it slower
quick one if i go back up after regain does it work the same the second time
